Easter...part #2

We started our day off with reading the Easter story.  My mom bought them the neatest little book telling the Easter story in their terms.  Then, we ate breakfast and decided to introduce Daisy!  I made Emma & Evan close their eyes and not peek until Justin came back inside.  Here we are meeting Daisy...
Here they are with their eyes closed waiting...

And surprise.  Evan was thrilled Emma was not so sure!!

      
Evan immediately wanted to hold her.  She did really good in such a crazy/loud environment!

Emma was just kidding when she said "I hold it!"
Oh yeah...I have to add this!  When we were showing Daisy to Evan and telling him her name...he said..."That's not Daisy...it's a bunny!"  He thinks anyone named Daisy should be a duck! :)

Then, we got dressed and headed to church.  It was a great service as we celebrated our risen Lord.  This week had been a sad one as we reflected on a high classmate of ours who tragically lost their child.  As we were talking about them and their situation one night and how hard this weekend was going to for them...I was reminded that God willingly gave his son for us!  We as humans came imagine actually losing a child but God sent his son here for that purpose only...to die for our sins!  What an awesome God we serve!!  Here are our yearly Easter pictures!!
My sweet little family!!

And the family shot!  We needed an extra hand so MaMa & PaPa can join in!!

And of course...the sister picture!!

The Easter bunny stopped by MaMa & PaPa's and left some things for E&E!!

While we were waiting for lunch to finish cooking...MaMa had hid some eggs in the living room.  Here are E&E one that little egg hunt!

                   

                     
And after lunch...we decided to open Evan's new glove and ball set.  I had to share this picture.  Who is this cool kid with his glove and shades on.  Other than being shirtless...he is ready for a ball game!  
 We then headed to Justin's mom's family annual Easter Egg Hunt.  My phone died at while we were at Momma's ...so no pictures from that Easter Egg Hunt!  E&E did great though even with our only 10 minute nap!  Needless to say...bedtime came early tonight!  So, that was our fun-filled weekend!!  Plans are being made as you read for our last Easter Egg Hunt next weekend.  I was REAL late getting the invites our and several people already have plans!  No worries though.  We will have fun with the ones who can make it.  This week is spring break.  We had planned to start potting training but we are putting it off until after our Atlanta trip.  I didn't really want Janice or my mom having to clean up pee & poop all week!  I'm off two afternoons to spend time with them.  Wednesday...Katie is taking E&E to the strawberry patch to pick strawberries.  They have plans to go to the park and out for lunch too.  That should be a fun day!  Hope you guys enjoy your week off.  Looks like it is going to be great weather.  For the rest of us...it's back to work tomorrow so I better be getting in the bed!  Good night!!!
